Saddle with Stirrups

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver stirrups with stirrups, titled "Saddle with Stirrups" by an unknown artist. Two metal stirrups, made of silver-colored metal, likely steel or pewter, with a ribbed design. The stirrup on the left is standing upright, with a loop extending from the back and a fluted, tapered shape. The stirrup on the right has an arched top with a shell-like design and a flat base with a wavy edge. Both stirrups have a worn, aged appearance. The background is a gradient of gray, transitioning from light to dark.
